HSA enables more efficient compilation of high-level programming interfaces like OpenACC and C++AMP. For OpenACC, HSA provides flexibility in implementing data transfers and optimizing nested parallel loops. For C++AMP, HSA allows efficient compilation from an even higher level interface where GPU data and kernels are modeled as C++ containers and lambdas, without needing to specify data transfers. Overall, HSA aims to reduce boilerplate code for heterogeneous programming and provide better portability across devices.
4Developers 2018: Evolution of C++ Class Design (Mariusz Łapiński)PROIDEA
Since the beginnings of C++, classes are the basic building block of any self-respecting application. The combination of data and its relevant functionality heavily impacts the way we modularize the program, design APIs, construct and reuse the code - think of software in general.
In the previous era, C++ was a hammer for every nail, providing secure high-level abstractions without sacrifice of the superior performance. Yet during the past decades, competing technologies dethroned it out of many domains. As the language evolved to prevail its principal advantages, so did the way classes are programmed.
I am pleased to invite you to a speech about code construction and programming techniques used in programs and libraries now and then. Expect a lot of code samples!

Самые вкусные баги из игрового кода: как ошибаются наши коллеги-программисты ...DevGAMM Conference
Один из лучших способов снизить количество багов в играх – это показывать программистам, как не стоит писать код. В своём докладе я соберу самые вкусные и необычные ошибки, которые удалось найти в C++ и C# коде таких игр, как VVVVVV, Space Engineers, Command & Conquer, osu! и даже Doom. Я уверен, что каждый из слушателей обязательно узнает для себя что-то новое. В конце концов, это просто приятно – лично увидеть ошибки из кода знакомой и любимой игры!
Heap-based buffer overflow in the __nss_hostname_digits_dots function in glibc 2.2, and other 2.x versions before 2.18, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) gethostbyname or (2) gethostbyname2 function, aka "GHOST."
The GHOST vulnerability is a serious weakness in the Linux glibc library. It allows attackers to remotely take complete control of the victim system without having any prior knowledge of system credentials. CVE-2015-0235 has been assigned to this issue.
Qualys security researchers discovered this bug and worked closely with Linux distribution vendors. And as a result of that we are releasing this advisory today as a coordinated effort, and patches for all distribution are available January 27, 2015.

But what are these ""Clocks"" stuff I see in the kernel about ?
Since first introduction of linux/clk.h in 2006 from Russel King, clock management was progressively part of the needed system management and resource handling in drivers.
Then, in 2012, Mike Turquette introduced the ""Common Clock Framework"" he co-maintained with Steven Boyd, becoming a central ""Framework"" handling clocks over the system to provide controls by the device drivers.
- However, what are these clocks?
- What are they in physical terms?
- How are they modeled in Hardware?
- Why do we need them to control internal&external devices?
Neil will make a full overview of the ""Common Clock Framework"", how it's integrated in the Linux Kernel and a brief overview of the physical implementation&requirement in Hardware.

ARM Techcon Keynote 2012: Sensor Integration and Improved User Experiences at...HSA Foundation
HSA is a new computing platform architecture being standardized by the HSA Foundation which has as Founding members, AMD, ARM, Imagination, TI, Mediatek, Samsung and Qualcomm. HSA is intended to make the use of heterogeneous programming widespread by making purpose built architectures as easy to program as modern CPUs are. We start off by doing this with the GPU, the most widely deployed companion processor to the CPU and one which especially complements the CPU in low power and performance workloads. This requires some hardware architecture changes, that we have been working on for some time (in particular those that enable user mode scheduling, unified address space, unified shared memory, compute context switching, etc.) and which we have encapsulated into the spec currently under review by the HSA Foundation.
In short, HSA codifies the hardware architecture changes that are needed to enable mainstream programmers to develop heterogeneous application with the same facility that they do CPU only applications by seamlessly integrating the sequential programming capability of the CPU with the parallel compute capability of the GPU. We describe the software stacks that are needed for HSA, the benefits that accrue to both developers as well as end users, and describe our vision of the how HSA will help unify the ecosystems of the smartphone and tablet platforms as well as bring it closer to that of the traditional PC market. We will provide analysis of several examples which arise in applications and present data to validate the performance per watt benefit of HSA.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
